AI Will Replace 95% of Coaches. I Went on a Podcast to Talk About the 5% Who Survive.

October 17, 2025

I just went on Your Ultimate Life Podcast – Coaches Edition with Yvette Vink and host Kellan Fluckiger to talk about something a lot of coaches don’t want to hear:

AI is coming for your business.

And not in the distant-future, Terminator sense. It’s here.
Right now.

Kellan opened with the claim that 95% of coaches are going to be replaced . . . and I didn’t argue.

Because the coaches who are just using outdated frameworks and surface-level advice?
Yeah. Those are getting wiped out.

But here’s what I did say—and what I’ll keep saying:
AI is a tool to kill your busywork.
Not your business.

The way we use it (both for ourselves and our clients) is simple:

  • Eliminate low-level tasks
  • Think faster
  • Ship faster
  • Free up the mental bandwidth for better ideas, better execution, and better service

That’s it.
That’s how you stay in the 5%. That’s how you make AI work for you, not against you.

You’ll hear us get into:

  • Why “coaching” as a label is dead (Yvette’s quote: “I stopped using the word coaching. I started using the word strategist.”)
  • What makes someone AI-proof (Spoiler: It’s not your templates)
  • The real difference between knowledge and wisdom
  • What “I can’t bleed” means—and why AI will never replicate human connection

Tag Kellan:

Bottom line:
AI will expose who’s been faking it.
It will wipe out the surface-level “coaches” who are just regurgitating content from 2013.

But the ones who can actually help humans solve bigger problems?
They’ll win. They’ll serve better. They’ll create better.

And that’s the whole point.
